That's got to be good right? You were struggling no.

I hope it goes positive very soon.

Yes, some bad decisions but cooled off and now trying to slowly regain. Quick to lose a ton and a hell of a lot slower to get it back but gotta keep at it.

You need a "go short" button to sit next to your giant BUY button

Keep your patience and it will come round.

no

 

[Bramp]

Well why not, have to look at daily averages, if today has not reached those daily averages then there is potential it still can.

no

current session and previous session including overnight

when you were asking about a trade the ftse and dax were close to the low of the day
so minimising your risk

thats where your exit thinking comes in, to many traders jump on then think I have it wrong its going against me etc

 

[dc2000]

right now you would be short on the DOW 16040 area looking for 15940 easy number and above last low

 

[dc2000]

now we get higher lows on 5 min bars so stop level moved a few points in front of exit
